Our girls.
No French "word" today (in the traditional sense…), just great thanks, or remerciements.
Following the heartfelt responses that my family continues to receive, in response to yesterday's journal entry about our lost dog, I could not bear to leave you hanging on until tomorrow for the rest of the story.
For all of you who have written in asking for an immediate update, here is a big hint: the photo, above, was taken yesterday afternoon. The girl in the photo is our daughter, Jackie, and the paw she is holding issues from a slightly limping leg — but a leg all the same!
Oh, how we love this leg and its lusty, loitering, Lolita at the other end! Never, dear girl, NEVER put us through this roller-coater lost-dog ride again!

Please check back tomorrow, when I will tell you the rest of the story (as well as give you an update about saviour Sam… or "Sam The Man"! (Oh yes! He is our "man", that Sam!) Meantime, thank you for your touching témoinages. I hope they have touched and given hope to others as they have us.
Amicalement,
Kristin & Jean-Marc

Can’t wait to see what the babies look like!
Big sigh of relief…the wayward kids are home! I am so touched by the support your family has received from the cyber-community! and how lovingly you’ve supported one anotehr.
oh Good Lord, I got tears in my eyes as soon as I saw the picture. I’m so happy to hear that your dog has returned and all is well. Thank you for updating us.
My French is not very good yet, but when I saw the title “chien perdu” I knew exactly what it meant. I sent up prayers that the story would have a happy ending. My own chien, Millie, wandered off last month for the first time in ten years. I was frantic for those 20 minutes until an SUV pulled up beside me, my baby sitting like a queen in the back seat. Thank heavens for her collar and tags. I don’t know how you even managed to write out the tale for us in any comprehensive way with worry foremost in your mind. I’m so glad you had a happy ending.
ooh, what a relief!!!!! coincidentally, my husband and i spent yesterday on a golden-retriever retrieval ourselves– our daughter’s destined puppy from a breeder was the one of 6 in the litter who did not survive his birth, and she being the last to sign on for one of the puppies, was the person who was left puppyless. amazingly, she turned up a 9-week-old golden boy at a different breeder who was unclaimed perhaps because he was not as cute and not show-dog material, being a bit over-sized and “chunky” in shape. needless to say, he is perfect! we drove into canada 5 hours each way to pick him up; kira could not go along because her passport had not yet arrived….
Hi Kristin –
I am so very happy for you that you’ve re-found Braise. I echo an earlier comment that so many of us have been there, and really felt for you as you went through looking for her – or them!
As an advocate for animal adoption, though, I hope you don’t mind that I put in my $.02 (which is the merest fraction of a Euro!) to please consider adoption before breeding (I know: “too late now”! 😉 )- there are so many homeless pets that are put to sleep for no reason except that they have no place else to go.
Hope I don’t sound preachy. I am very happy for you and your friend that you found your beloved animals and they are safe at home.
Best regards, as always,
Inger
Oh PS –
BEAUTIFUL picture, comme d’habitude!!
Jackie est de plus en plus jolie, je suis contente que Braise ait été retrouvée. Gros bisous.
